Matt Green from Palace Drum Clinic will be bringing his John Bonham Masterclass to Drumattic Studio on Saturday October 26th. 4pm start, please feel free to arrive from 3.30 onwards. Tickets are available here.
Led Zeppelin’s iconic music has been popular for over 50 years and has been used for many TV shows an Hollywood films, including the Marvel franchise. John Bonham, the legendary drummer for Led Zeppelin, is still one of the most influential rock drummers of all time, more than 43 years after his untimely passing. Creative Director of the Palace Drum Clinic, Matt Green, will demonstrate why ‘Bonzo’ remains so influential to drummers of all genres and abilities. In these events, Matt will showcase what he believes to be the major drum grooves that have cemented John Bonham’s legendary status. A lot of drummers struggle to
play Bonzo’s songs, so these are broken down to help you understand the grooves, whichever playing level you’re at. With first hand knowledge as a young man starting out, Matt talks about what influenced John from his friendships and taste in music, to untold stories which in turn
blossomed into the true musicianship of Bonzo.
Within this masterclass there will be demonstrations, discussion and an interactive section where Matt will help drummers to play some of the iconic grooves of John
Bonham. Getting people involved is the best way to guide players to achieve their goals. Matt will also showcase different exercises and learning techniques for any player
to take into their own practice. Learning the fundamental elements of Bonzo’s playing will help any drummer at any level to understand and eventually play the thunderous grooves that make Bonham the influence he still is today.
